The Stuff April-May 2025 issue has hit digital and physical shelves around South Africa, and as usual, it’s jammed with all of the latest tech to hit the planet since the last time we did that. That wasn’t that long ago, but much new has turned up. Bike GPS units, dashboard cameras, sleep masks, and GameCube controllers are just a small (and weird) sample of what awaits readers in this stacked issue of Stuff.
The April-May 2024 main event is Stuff‘s headphone buyers guide. Covering every use case from the best all-rounders to audio specialists, wired headphones to the kind of headwear for folks with a burning obsession to hear the notes the composer only thought about while playing, if it’s on the market we’ve checked, rated, and given you the best option to suit what you do with your music. Gym rats and gamers aren’t excluded, either. If you happen to be both of those, we reckon you’ll be more pleased than your bank account will be when you buy a different option for each activity. Hey, it’s called a ‘buyer’s guide’ for a reason.
An underappreciated piece of tech is the humble computer mouse. Until the day we’re given direct neural connections for our PCs, it’s the very best way to interact with the virtual world humanity has created by tricking rocks into thinking. It’s also the superior method of playing first-person shooters (what, console bros?). Stuff’s April-May 2025 issue collects a metric ton (okay, fine, ten) of the best options for whatever you need them for. Shaving a millisecond off your headshot? Shaving a millisecond off your Excel spreadsheet creation? Using in a Linux environment? We’ve covered all the bases (but that last one’s mostly for cosmetic reasons).
Want more? Of course you do. It’s 2025. Lego dinosaurs, handheld gaming consoles (Nintendo and Steam, naturally), actual cars (hi, Ford), fantastic cameras, phones, laptops, and a kid’s smartwatch await readers. There’s also the very best iPhones ever made, Leica’s camera highlights over the years, and tips on how to get more from your six-stringed axe using apps and gadgets. If that’s not enough, never fear. We were never going to list everything here. Find your April-May 2025 issue of Stuff in your favourite store or online — directly from Stuff or… well, elsewhere.
